Translate "Over-the-Air Power: A Radical Resource for Educational Facility Management"
Author: Behrooz Abiri
Published In: Facilities Manager
Date: July/August 2021
Schools and universities with storied hallways were not built to meet the power demands of today’s tech-dependent world. When it comes to the management of these buildings, many obstacles prevent seamless operations: architectural or design limitations, costly maintenance, and the complex needs of the modern academic landscape. These obstacles cannot simply be resolved by longer-lasting batteries or the installation of more electrical outlets. Over-the-air (OTA) power is the emerging technology that may provide the solution. Utilizing OTA power would allow every device within the facility—such as a student or staff’s cell phone, an HVAC sensor, or a smoke alarm—to receive power simultaneously and continuously without the need to install electrical conduits. Just as Wi-Fi revolutionized Internet access, so will OTA power revolutionize energy access.
